Bluefish 2


Book:Bluefish
Author: Pat Schmatz
Week:1/19/14
Pages:10-50
Prompt:Summarize what you just read.

What I have read throughout the book is different then many other books I have read. Every chapter starts out with Travis the main character starting of in his perspective. It easily switches of in the end of the chapter two a kind of like second main character Velveeta. She talks to a dead friend by writing in a diary. She knows he will never see it but she talks about her life in that diary. The scene in the book is his little town ,school, and where every travis decides to go.

Travis is an odd fellow he doesn't really talk much at his school. He has had a hard life his mother and father died. He had a dog named Roscoe that was like his parents and some brothers thrown in all together. He has never really had a friend besides his dog till Velveeta decided to talk to him at lunch. They have talked everyday at lunch for quite awhile now. Well Velveeta has done most of the talking. Travis's grandpa doesn't  really help either he is trying to help travis by not drinking any more for fifty days. Travise chooses to ignore it because he still isn't going to quit smoking.

Veelveeta is more out going then travis she wants to know things and when she doesn't she like to make up things. The second day at school she sat with travis for awhile . Till she came up with the idea that travis was an undercover cop that could only say 10 words a day. She knows Travis likes her so she always tries to take travis's desert. Velveeta has a diary where she talks to a dead friend connie. She knows he will never see it but she likes the fact that she can pretend hes there. Velveeta always hangs out in his abandoned trailer just thinking of when he was alive writing.

Over all this book is great. Kind of confusing but still good.

  5. Good blog. You wrote a clear summarization. But I think it could be a little more detailed or improved if you read some more. Remember Mrs. Larson wants us reading at least 70 pages?

  6. I love books that have perspective changes, like Flipped. (I think it was called. It was a book about a boy and a girl that soon started to appreciate each other and interesting events starting happening as they bonded) Anyway, I like the concept of Veelveeta writing to her dead friend. Even though that's kind of creepy.
